Think it couldn't happen in America?

Do you think the kind of hero worship and idolization that brought Hitler to power in Germany?

If you said, 'It could't happen in American, you'd be dead wrong.'  Before I show you these videos let me give you a little history lesson (just in case you're not big on history).

After WW1 the German nation was really beat up.  Their economy was a shambles, their army was emasculated, their navy was scuttled, their air force was reducted basically to gliders, and their politics was confused (to say the least). 

Hitler and the Nationaal Socialist  German Workers Party (AKA: Nazis) rose to power partly (and largely) by playing on the resentment and hopes of the German people.....i.e. offering them national pride which many of them had lost and jobs or hope of jobs which most of them had lost.  And there's countless other related things they did but basically Hitler was a salesman.....i.e. he knew how to sell the customer what they wanted.  Every good salesman does that.

That's exactly what most politicians does and Obama is doing it better and more effectively than most politicans ever have.  Where Obama has the edge is that because he appears 'black', or sorta creme colored anyway, the large mass of disgruntled black people in the US tend to look at him as some sort of black messiah.

Make no mistake about it.  I think he's a handsome dude.  But he ain't no messiah and he darn sure isn't going to solve any of America's problems.  In fact, more than McCain might......he'll probably make them even worse because (I'm convinced) he resents the very principles that made America great and that can make it a respected and admired country again.

In these videos I'm posting here you'll see examples of the kind of mind numbed morons who are worshiping Obama right now.  Their ignorance of history, lack of perception, desire for easy and quick excuses and herd instinct is causing them to sing songs to him and march around like the idiots and retards that they are.

When I saw these videos I was both amazed and saddened.  To me the similarity was obvious and undeniable.  I was amazed at how obvious it was and that other concerned citizens aren't saying more about it.  Also how totally congruent the videos of today are with the videos from Nazi Germany.  And I dare say you could find similar videos of Fascists in Mussolini's Italy and Kim John Il's N.Korea.  It's really scarey.

And I was saddened that our country has degenerated to such a low level of intelligence and character appraisal as to give such a dangerous individual as Obama any credence at all.

Another interesting thing that occurs to me also is the irony of the fact that in WWII you had two evil empires, Communist Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany at each other's throat.  If one had a time machine and had to make a choice on which of those two sides you'd be on if you were sent back in time, it would be a hard choice to make.  I'm not totally sure what I'd do.

But the point there is that it somewhat previews a situation we might be in where the extremism of the Obama camp could be mirrored by an equal level of extremism, although of a more 'rightist' sort, from a future McCain presidency.  Not something I necessarily see on the immediate horizon but definately something that's plausable.

Of course, the best solution would still be to elect people of a libertarian persuasion....as I've been saying for some years now.  Not likely it'll happen.  At least not this time anyway.  Let's just hope there's enough of 'us' left to do something about it when the next opportunity comes around.

But.........here's the videos.  See if you don't see the similiarty.





Scary isn't it?

Do you know what the Libertarian Party stands for?

Ever actually seen the Libertarian platform?  Here it is.

And here's a few videos from Bob Barr, the Libertarian candidate for President of the US.

You do have a choice in the election!

I don't understand the mathematics of it but according to the people who made this video, there are enough independant candidates on enough state election ballots so that one of them could, at least theoretically, win the election.  Stranger things have happened in US electorial history.

I strongly urge all my lohal friends and readers to think seriously about what this upcoming election really about and consider voting Libertarian.  There are some other parties that I frankly don't know too much about but, as you know, Bob Bar, the Libertarian candidate who is also endorsed by Ron Paul, is the Libertarian candidate.  He's good enough for me.

And don't forget, the liberal media and the two major political party candidates (and their machine) don't even want you to hear what these alternative candidates have to say.  If they're so confidnet in their positions, what are they afraid of?

If you make your choice in this election only between Obama and McCain.......you've been screwed out of your legitimate rights as an American citizen.  You do have real choices in this election.

Enjoying Senor Coconut courtesy of HotSpotShield

I discovered a new band that I really love today.  It's called Senor Coconut.  You can Wike/Google it to learn more but the essence of it is that he's a guy who was successful in the German music scene, got bored, discovered and moved to Argentina....and the rest is history. 

If I had to describe his music it's a mixture of David Byrne and big band dance music.  Definately it has a latin twist.  But it's got a big band texture to it that you don't hear very often......anymore. 

Here's some videos I found on YouTube:

Relax with Bachata

On my Google Alerts today I got a link to this article about how relaxed it is to dance bachata (i.e. as opposed to salsa, I guess).  It comes from http://www.bachateros.com.au/ in Australia.

I think they've got a point.  I agree that bachata is easier to do and you can have just as much fun.  Maybe even more fun because you've got time to get your mind of what you're doing and just enjoy the club, the music, your partner, etc.

BTW, don't you like their site layout?  I do.  And just by a really remarkable coincidence not 2 minutes before I checked my mail and found that particular Google Alert, I was on the site from I know they (i.e. Bachateros) got that template.

Mike.......if you read the email I just sent you 10 minutes ago and do some research, you'll know too ;-)

Casual web encounter this evening

Who is this Pastor Manning guy?  Whoever......he's kinda cool, I thought.  And he sure doesn't like Barak Obama.

American Solutions Day....Newt did a good thing.

http://www.solutionsday2008.com/

If you'll click over to that site you'll have a chance to look at several videos from a big conference that Newt Gingrich very recently did.  In that conference they discussed

  • The economy
  • Energy
  • Education

Newt spoke of course and, as usual, what he said was very good.  Some of it I'd already heard because, as you know, I follow Newt as much as I can.  But he had some new info too that I thought was very good.

Plus, on the subject of education, there was some other information that I thought was really good.  That gal, Lisa Keegan, who speaks on one of the clips.......she made a very intresting and inspiring presentation too.

If you've liked the previous stuff I've showed you about Newt's ideas, you'll like this too.

Judge a candidate by his VIP picks?

I'll still never understand why my email address was barred from the Ann Coulter forum, but..........I could get on it with another email address if I really wanted.  And regardless of that trivial fact, I still enjoy reading Ann's columns.  She's really funny and bittingly 'real' in her analysis and commentary.

In this case, she's talking about what a dufus Joe Biden, Obama's VP running mate, is.

You've probably heard that Joey-baby is known for his verbal gaffs but in reading the incident noted here by Ann, I'm struck with the craziness of having such a moron as VP for the United States of America. 

Yeah........I'd be real confident(not!) knowing that if something ever happened to Mr "O" that Joey-baby would take over the reins of government.

The new bill......better, worse or the same?

As you know, I get updates from the Bob Barr campaign.  Here's some interesting and certainly plausible news about this Bailout II Bill they're talkig about now:

The U.S. Senate has added more spending to the bill and it is being voted on today.

Yesterday, Senator McCain sent an email to his supporters scaring them with silly claims that college students won't be able to get an education and that fast food restaurants won't be able to remodel.  Combine that with pressure from the White House and the titans of Wall Street and it is very likely the Senate will pass this bad-loan bailout unless they hear from you.

The media has noticed that Bob Barr is gaining in the polls as the only candidate who is standing up for taxpayers in this so-called crisis.  Bob told viewers of CNN this morning that crowds on the campaign trail have grown in both size and enthusiasm.

Should we be surprised?

Hell no.  Those Congress Clowns hardly ever do anything right.  The best way to keep them out of trouble is to keep them from doing anything.  Like Ron Paul said on one of those videos I gave you yesterday, those idiots are totally oblivious to what the real problem is. 

They're like a guy who habitually gets in trouble for cheating on his wife (or girlfriend) and to whom weaseling out of his predicaments with slimy excuses is just a game.  That's the way these guys think.  They don't have the slightest philisophical foundation for doing the right thing.

It really did occur to me yesterday that if they had more time to be creative they wouldn't pass up a chance to pack some pork into this new bill.  That's what thehy've done.

That's why I keep saying, and a lot more people are starting to realize and understand, that we need a new philosophy of government in Washington.  It's going to be easier to give birth(install new elected officials) than resurrect the already brain dead jerkwads in Congress.

We need to return to the original precepts of our founding fathers of financial, monetary, governance and diplomatic policy.

Ron Paul pegged it right on the head years ago..

Ron Paul......everything he said years ago about the economy is coming true now.  Any way you look at it, we're in for some tough times.  The question is....do we plan for the long haul or just opt for another band-aid that'll last a few weeks or months and ultimately result even an even worse hemmorage in the future?

Here's some interesting recent videos of appearances Ron Paul has made.  You might also notice that these newscasters are being a lot more respectiful now.
